Corona: Laschet attacks the German virologists: “First 10, then 14, now 22 …”

Update April 27, 4:08 p.m.: Schools in Bavaria have also been closed for several weeks. The blockade would have “dramatic effects on children,” as one doctor now reveals in an exclusive interview.

Update April 27, 2020: Söder misses Laschet after the show with Anne Will: CSU’s top in the video section clearly distanced himself from North Rhine-Westphalia Prime Minister Armin Laschet (CDU). He had complained Sunday night at the ARD that virologists changed their minds every few days. That leads to uncertainty.

Söder said in principle, without naming Laschet by name: “It would be a mistake not to listen to virologists, because up to now they have advised us well.” Credibility of the population in political decisions.

Update 10:35 p.m.: It continues with an exchange of blows. Soccer ball–Bundesliga.

Greens politician Annalena Baerbock is very much in favor of a Bundesliga opening critical Opposite “We bet on social cohesion because it is deeply unfair to allow the Bundesliga if children can’t even get on the swing,” complains the politician. The liberal boss Christian Lindner (FDP) on the other hand, he does not see it so strictly: “All areas that meet similar standards to the Bundesliga should now also be opened.”

Opinions between Baerbock and Lindner differ widely. Karl Lauterbach (SPD) has something else to complain about in the Bundesliga. He sees Soccer players in quarantine treated differently than the rest of the population. His adversary of the afternoon, Armin laschet (CDU), you can only sigh. He admits an error in a completely different place, but not with himself.

About the topic School openings: These were not adequately prepared. Even the hygiene requirements did not correspond to the appropriate crown standards. But he doesn’t see the blame for his state government. No, schools and their municipalities are responsible. “For us, that is the responsibility of the school authorities, and that is the respective city.”

In plain text it shines through: Laschet he ordered schools to be opened in North Rhine-Westphalia without consulting local authorities. Viewers were furious on Twitter.

“Anne Will” (ARD): Laschet and Lauterbach in a duel over statements by virologists

Update 10:11 p.m.: Prime Minister of North Rhine-Westphalia Armin laschet (CDU) and SPD politician Karl Lauterbach presented a confrontation for “Anne Will”. The virologists’ recommendations on the decisive factors for the Crown measurements constantly changing, Laschet criticizes. This also leads to uncertainty among the population. “Originally, the goal was: we have to avoid Bergamo,” Laschet looks back. “To do this, we doubled intensive capacities and closed the entire country.” That seemed to have worked well.

So the time period Duplication number Be decisive “First it was ten, then ten to 14 days; now we have reached 22 at NRW,” says Laschet. But now the so-called R factor for the number of reproductions is suddenly decisive.

The indirect accusation that German scientists are constantly changing their guidelines apparently is not bearable for Karl Lauterbach. He leans forward in his chair, shakes his head, and tries to interrupt Laschet. But Prime Minister of North Rhine-Westphalia He said furiously: “And now I can see the next factor,” he says indignantly. Because recently the goal of a few hundred new infections per day has been discussed. Virologists would sometimes have to make clear statements, Laschet says.

Can Lauterbach I just don’t agree. The criteria are different values, all with the same objective. “We were lucky we didn’t wait for the first one,” said Lauterbach. But it was clear from the beginning that after the catastrophe was averted, the task was to avoid a second wave. Because as long as there is no immunity, it cannot be prevented. “A second wave in Germany must be avoided,” said the epidemiologist. Because with such the focus of infection could no longer be traced.

Corona lock theme in “Anne Will” (ARD): Lindner wants to “dare to a different strategy”

Update 10:05 p.m.: “Angela Merkel does not trust citizens enough”, asks Anne Will Christina Berndt, Scientific editor of the Süddeutsche Zeitung. Berndt supports the chancellor and evaluates the openings in some federal states as “fast”. Germany is the pioneer in the coronavirus pandemic, and this lead should not be wasted.

Update 22:01: FDP Chief Christian Lindner makes it clear that he is no longer convinced of the crisis strategy launched at the beginning of the crisis. “Because I think the country is now in a different constitution.” The health system has been strengthened, the population has been responsible for the situation, and the lack of protective equipment has been remedied. “So I think we can try a different strategy.”

Too Lindner It refers to the Helmholtz Scientist In Brunswick however, on a different recommendation. Therefore, the only decisive factor was: “Is there a concept of hygiene?” One should not be guided by individual swords. “If you keep your distance, there are masks, only that is decisive,” says Lindner.

ARD talk “Anne Will” on the crown crisis: Lauterbach – “I would never have opened schools”

Update 9:54 p.m.: It can be seen that the mortality rate of patients with Covid 19 is increasing Karl Lauterbach (SPD) clearly does not agree with Laschet. “The greatest threat remains death from this disease.” Intensive beds Only the worst can be prevented. But even those who are ventilated “die 60 percent” of the consequences of the virus infection, according to Lauterbach. In the United States, the respiratory mortality rate is as high as 80 percent.

So far nothing has been gained. In Germany, only one or two percent have been infected so far. The vast majority of the population still faces an infection. “I would never have opened schools before,” says an epidemiologist, referring to the Helmholtz study. And Lauterbach goes a step further: “It would not have opened at all.”

Update 9:53 p.m.: It is about life and death. There are ARD moderators Anne Will and NRW prime minister Armin laschet According Laschet is considered a strong representative of a holistic approach to relaxation. “I’ve been defending this for weeks: You have to weigh it,” says Laschet. The drastic consequences of the crown measures for children and the serious economic consequences of mass unemployment must be taken into account. “And at the same time, 40 percent, in our North Rhine-Westphalia state as of this afternoon, are free for intensive care settings.” At least one has to talk about the fact that this crisis affects the weakest of the population the most, says Laschet.
